Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Stew

You won’t miss the rice in this version of the comfort food classic. And if you have an Instant Pot, this is the stew for you. All the hottest hashtags apply! It could also easily be made on your stovetop, and could also be easily adapted for a slow cooker. Like so many soups and stews, it’s even better the next day, of course! I made this version with ground turkey to lighten it up a touch, but feel free to use beef or any other ground meat you prefer.

In a large pot, heat the butter over medium high. Add onion and celery and saute until they start to soften, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 2 more minutes. Add in ground turkey, parsley, salt and pepper, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, breaking up meat as you go, until turkey is almost completely browned.

Pour in all tomatoes, broth, and cauliflower; increase heat to bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and add chopped cabbage. Let simmer, uncovered, for 2 hours. Serve with some fresh parsley if you so desire!
